Hey there. First off, I read the stickied thread about posting logs and have already done everything suggested in there about Windows Updates, Spyware scans etc...

Geeba.dll is giving me problems here and I can't work out how to get rid of it. It had come up on a hijack scan I showed to a knowledgeable friend but deleting it from there didn't work, neither did attempting to delete it from safe mode. It now shows up as (file missing) on my logs but still persists in appearing on the logs. Moreover, I've been getting a lot of pop-ups lately but I couldn't find any information on what geeba.dll actually was, only fixes for it so I don't know if that's been causing it. Here's my log, any help on getting rid of this pest would be most appreciated. Also, the O18 entry has been showing up as (file missing) for a while but I have no idea what that file even if. On a side note, I tried removing Quicktime from my tasktray but the thing won't go away. >_<

After the files are extracted, please reboot your computer into Safe Mode. You can do this by restarting your computer and continually tapping the F8 key until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight Safe Mode then hit enter.

Once in safe mode open the VundoFix folder and doubleclick on KillVundo.bat

You will first be presented with a warning.
It should look like this

VundoFix V2.15 by Atri
By using VundoFix you agree that you are doing so at your own risk
Press enter to continue....

At this point press enter one time.

Next you will see:

Please Type in the filepath as instructed by the forum staff
and then press enter:

At this point please type the following file path (make sure to enter it exactly as below!):

C:\WINDOWS\system32\geeba.dll

Press Enter to continue with the fix.

Next you will see:

Please type in the second filepath as instructed by the forum
staff then press enter:

At this point please type the following file path (make sure to enter it exactly as below!):C:\WINDOWS\system32\abeeg.dll.*
This will be the vundo filename spelt backwards. for example if the vundo dll was vundo.dll you would have the user enter odnuv.*

Press Enter to continue with the fix.

The fix will run then HijackThis will open, if it does not open automatically please open it manually.

Open Cleanup! by double-clicking the icon on your desktop (or from the Start > All Programs menu).Set the program up as follows:Click "Options..."Move the arrow down to "Custom CleanUp!"Put a check next to the following (Make sure nothing else is checked!):

Close all programs and all windows, leaving only HijackThis running. Please disconnect from the internet. Place a check mark against each of the following, making sure you get each one and not any others by mistake:

Cool beans!

The following is a list of tools and utilities that I like to suggest to people. This list is full of great tools and utilities to help you understand how you got infected and how to keep from getting infected again.

Spybot Search & Destroy - Uber powerful tool which can search and annhilate nasties that make it onto your system. Now with an Immunize section that will help prevent future infections.

AdAware - Another very powerful tool which searches and kills nasties that infect your system. AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy compliment each other very well.

SpywareBlaster - Great prevention tool to keep nasties from installing on your system.

SpywareGuard - Works as a Spyware "Shield" to protect your computer from getting malware in the first place.

IE-SpyAd - puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.

CleanUP! - Cleans temporary files from IE and Windows, empties the recycle bin and more. Great tool to help speed up your computer and knock out those nasties that like to reside in the temp folders.

Windows Updates - It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.

Google Toolbar - Free google toolbar that allows you to use the powerful Google search engine from the bar, but also blocks pop up windows.

Trillian or Miranda-IM - These are Malware free Instant Messenger programs which allow you to connect to multiple IM services in one program! (AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, IRC, MSN)
